anyone got what they think is the best configuration for SetCPU?
stock configuration works great for me
min cpu = 225 (or something like that)
max cpu = 995 (again, or something like that)
????
Stock settings are:
Min: 245
Max: 998
CPU Governer: On demand
Charging 998/998
Sleep/Standby 499/245
Power < 25% 576/245
i concur about the stock clock settings, they work best for me. 998 high/245 low
i am opting for stock... im going to assume that htc/google did their research to give us the best blend of CPU speeds depending on what the phone is doing and what the battery power is...
if stock settings are 998 mhz why overclock it? can you get more from the processor than that?

you probably can, but you'd just end up burning it out. what you can do is set the low a bit higher than 245. more battery drain will result.
So what are the out of the box settings on the CPU if you dont use setCPU?
Read this thread you will see them
No one has messed with this app?
I have mine set @ stock, but have also enabled a profile for when the phone is asleep. I set it at 300/245. Not really sure if it makes a difference in battery life.
Mine is set to the A1clock speed which is 768max and 245 min.. no lag when swippin and in act1 video player its still smooth..even a droids 550mhz stock speed. Also got it 245max/min when sleep, remember to exclude setcpu if you u wanna see results..

What's a1clock?
I noticed that when using SetCPU and setting the minimum CPU speed to 245mhz, it seems like the CPU doesnt clock down to 245, but instead stays at 998. By setting the minimum to 328, it works.
Where can u see that?

I agree...where are all you guys/gals seeing/getting information like that off of the phone. What are the apps needed to monitor that information.
Also, exactly what is the stock CPU settings?

I noticed something similar.
When setting it to 998/245 and hit refresh 5 or 6 times you'll never see something under 998 at the top.
When setting min to something else than 245 but keeping 998 for max and hitting refresh 5 or 6 times you'll see the min value a few times when refreshing.
####################
where is the difference between on demand, user space and performance and what did you take? I took performace for some weeks and just set it to on demand (and 998/245)
so what settings would be proper to set to see a difference?
What scaling setting do you use, maybe you have custom profile?
I personally use 'ondemand', but I was thinking.... It would be nice to have a smart scaling setting, based on the amount the phone is used, screen brightness and the battery temperature, etc.

Hi.
I've set mine at 576 max and left minimum at 245, scaling is on demand, and have set a profile for screen off at 245 for both. I've left the advanced screen as I don't have a clue what any of it means lol.
Non
Used it at first when got rooted. still on root BA23 firmware and im very happy with the current setup. I left the processor to operate the way it want to do.
Dont take me wrong, its a great software, everything is depends on overall apps you are running. and its unique to your phone, check its really necessary.
After-all we are talking about android, not windows.
I want to know the best setting also I had some custome profiles (after reading in a post on XDA) but phone got slow, laggy & sometimes call drop. Then i deleted all custome profiles

I had that problem once. But i think it is a OS bug than the SetCPU bug itself. You should re-root your fone and set profiles one more time. It will help you save a lot of battery
My setting (following someone on the net)
- Fully chage (AC/USB): 998/245
- Screenoff: Max: 348 Min: 245
- Battery <25%: Max: 348 Min: 245
Ok Dundun, I've set profiles again same as yours let's see how it workd
Just came across this thread for decent SetCPU setting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734886
Hey guys,
I noticed another issue but don't know if it's rom-related.
When I push the power or volume-button to wake up the device, it sometimes takes 3-5 seconds until it wakes up and display powers on.
It seems that this issue is showing up more often than a few days before. I would say it happens every 5th to 8th time I wake up the device. :-/
Can anyone confirm this?
Check your minimum Clock speed i.e. in SetCPU or NoFrills what is the minimum speed the processor can run at?
If it's very low then increase it a little.
Minimum CPU-speed is 384Mhz set through SebastianFMs kernel I think. Will NoFrills overwrite kernel settings for testing?
Hello,
Mi 4i lags/slows down most of the time, when i check CPU-Z during that time, i can see that only the lower clocked 2/4 cpu cores run constantly at 800 Mhz. It is very difficult to use when it is so slow. Other 4/6 cores remain inactive.
Is there any solution for this weird behavior while running in Balanced mode. Even when switching to Performance mode, nothing changes. I believe due to the heat generated, the OS automatically underclocks the CPU. I have already rooted and tried changing the CPU Governor, Clock speed but it resets to default every time. Sometimes i am unable to change that too.
Thank you.
There's a configuration that does this, just try to use the provided tweaks available here and then configure the phone's cores and so manually.
http://en.miui.com/thread-140563-1-1.html
I tried tweaking the thermal config using the above thread. But still only four cores are active @ 800 Mhz. The phone is so lagging that it is not usable at most of the time. Unable to change governor in any CPU clocking app, turn on the other cores. If you can help me out, please let me know.
Thanks.

Might be a bug. Try a clean install and see
Same here
I am having a similar issue, very frustrating. I tried Sensei kernel, but no luck
i don't know what do you mean bro
everytime i change to other rom,other kernel
the results is...
all core is on

strange, i am using miuipro with sensei and havent found any problem.
This happens in the latest stable MIUI7 ROM. I think it is time to change to a custom rom.
i have the 1689mhz bug!!! at random time the MIN freq of the cpu is stuck at 1689mhz andthe max still at 2ghz. ( you can activate on developer options the "show cpu info" toggle)
i cannot change the min value from kernel adiutor, i click on 652mhz but nothing changes, only a REBOOT actually fix the min freq used.
i thought it was a problem of my custom rom resurrection 5.8.3 or the fact i am using kernel adiutor, in fact this app does randomly give CPU LOAD BUG on several devices i mod! sometimes kernel adiutor load my cpu cores at 100% also on light load, but just forceclosing the app the cores return to lower freq.
but the 1689mhz bug is a KERNEL BUG, i read about this bug also on people with stock rom, and the p2a42 phone.... and i have p2c72 hardware phone!!! so this kernel BUG is found in EVERY VERSION of this phone.
please developers, we need a modded kernel that fixes this bug, and why not.......... new i/o schedulers and governors.... and maybe a little undervolt for every cpu freq

Haha! Have very less hopes,bcoz some feel that custom kernels are not at all needed! They think that a device wid 2ghz processor doesn't need custom kernel
And btw the post topic is 100% right,bt the place where it's posted is wrong! This should be under discussion section

Yes, thats true. The bug is i think VDD related. Sometimes the VDD switches automatically on, the min CPU freq goes up to 1689 MHz, and can not be lowered until you don't switch off the VDD. You can switch off in Kernel Adiutor/Thermal section, or use the following command :
echo '0' > /sys/module/msm_thermal/vdd_restriction/enabled
I use the KSLABS Schedule! app to run the command every 5 minutes.
I hope this will help you, until we get one bugfree kernel.
u are right
now the bug is MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN EVER............ i rebooted, i attachedthe phone to a charger, arrived 100%, then rest for 1h30min on idle(deep sleep) but when i started using the phone... i checked the frequencies and BOOM....... another time the bug of 1689mhz!!! the battery was 100%......
maybe there is an app that causes this... but which one?

Which ROM do you use?
I have stock 244, but the method worked for me in 233 too. In the past, I used the Magisk Crossbreeder Lite module to eliminate this problem, but the latest (1.6+) versions made the phone very slow, especially booting.

edit_ i setted your app, ibut i prefer every 1h to toggle VDD off

Maybe the Kernel adiutor itself cause the high load, as background task make 28-30% cpu load, see the attachment.
But, the 1689 MHz bug still exist. :-\

what app do you use to see the % of cpu for each thread?
i don't think that the cause is kernel adiutor... i repeat, a lot of people with 100% stock rom have this bug.....
hey vis could you help me with the string of the scheduler app? i don't understand how to set every 1 hour my previous screenshot i think is wrong because it does not work every 1 h
sorry but the "cron expression" is too much difficult to me to understand.....
EDIT i found how to do every 1h!! 0 0 0/1 1/1 * ? *
thanks to this site!!! http://www.cronmaker.com/

The app name is 3C Toolbox Pro.
Yes the bug is still here, Kernel Adiutor is only different problem.
After reading all your discussion.. I understood that one of you knew solution to stop the bug ,and the other guy learnt how to do it ..
But I don't get a single thing ,what and how you solved that bug
Note : I don't even know that 1698 bug is present , all I know is cpu idle is consuming more power ..
Is this the same thing you guys were discussing?
If yes ..how can a I solve it ? Any walkthrough?for dumb minds like me ...?

I've made the following observations:
On a fresh install(stock or custom rom(i have not tried Firelord versions)), rooted phone(with Magisk or SuperSU), if you install the Kernel Adiutor, and go to Thermal section the VDD restriction by default is OFF. You can change freely the CPU minimum frequency.
After some hours/days(total random) something switch ON the VDD restriction, the CPU minimun frequency going up to 1698 MHz, and unable to set back the default 652 MHz. If you switch off the screen the cores going to deep sleep, but if you switch on the screen the min. freq. is still 1698 MHZ.
If you manually switch OFF the VDD restriction, the CPU working normal, until switched ON automatically again.
If your phone is not rooted, the only thing what you can notice that the battery is dropping faster than usual, or the phone a bit warmer.
The problem still occurs even if you do not have a program that you can turn on/off the VDD.
The above solution does not repair the problem, it only remedies the symptoms...
I sometimes notice that even though I don't use it, "Google Play Services" consume an unusual amount of battery and will continue to do so unless I reboot the phone. I have never investigated the cause. Might this be related to the 1698MHz bug ?

I do not think so, but check the status of VDD when you have rooted phone. Sometimes I have too huge battery usage caused by the Google Play Services, but i would suspect first of the Location services. If I use some sport tracker, or navigation app then growing for me the Google Play Services consumption.

My phone is rooted. I will start monitoring VDD. FYI, I don't use any google app (Gmail, Play Store, Maps, etc ...). Location services is also turned off. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I'd see Google Play Services at the top of the battery consumption details. Yesterday, it had a very high CPU consumption time of around 1h (prevented the phone from going to sleep; had 3000+ wakelocks). I had to reboot the phone to get it to stop eating my battery. Usually, Google Play Services use the CPU for a total of 10min on a full charge.

If you don't use it, you can remove what is mentioned on the MicroG Prerequisites page[0].
Some apps nag about it but the only noticable problem I have is messenger lite notifications don't go automaticaly away after replying. Even my banking app keeps working.
